Efficiency of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography-Based Personalized Microimplant-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion in Patients With Maxillary Transverse Deficiency and Thin Palatal Bone
This study provides evidence that a digitally personalized MARPE protocol, guided by CBCT, is a feasible and well-tolerated treatment approach for adults with maxillary transverse deficiency and critically thin palatal bone. It provides significant skeletal expansion with minimal dental side effects, offering a viable solution for a patient population that has limited and high-risk treatment options.
